    hrs Estimate Duration

Experience the great outdoors that surrounds Sete Cidades in whatever way you find most appealing from a choice of adventurous activities. The drive to this amazing area in the island’s western interior will set the stage for the natural beauty that lies ahead as you will travel through mountainous forested reserves that are largely undeveloped. The fairytale landscape of Sete Cidades is even more dramatic as two crater lakes dominate it. According to legend, the different colors of the lakes – one blue, the other green – were the result of tears from a blue-eyed shepherd and a green-eyed princess who shared a forbidden love. In this enchanting setting, you will participate in two out of three available activities. You will have the opportunity to bicycle around the twin lakes, kayak across their glass-smooth, cold waters, or hike into the wilds on a trekking adventure. The choice is entirely yours.

• Choose the outdoor adventure that best suits your level of comfort and abilities.
• Participate in two out of the three following activities: biking, kayaking and trekking.
